The Fethullah Gulen movement, which seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire, has found a friend and benefactor in Bill Gates of Microsoft fame. Mr. Gates is ranked the third wealthiest person on planet earth.

In 2007, through the Texas High School Project, the Gates Foundation shelled out $10,550,000 to the Cosmos Foundation, a Gulen enterprise that operates 25 publicly funded charter schools in Texas.

The Internal Revenue Service Form 990 for Cosmos shows that the Cosmos Foundation received $41,570,721 from taxpayers.

At present, there are 85 Gulan madrassahs (Islamic schools) in the United States, and all operate with public funding.

my thoughts exactly!!!
remember the howls from the libs about the establishment clause, when Bush made it easier for Christian Charities to help people?

and the Gulen movement is much much worse than sinply wanted the Ottoman Empire back. It is an Islamist movement, very similar to the Muslim Brotherhood, and like the M.B., much much more dangerous to us, than Al-Queda ever was!

in the long run, this is WORSE than letting Al-Queda open publicly funded charter schools in Texas and Virginia!

converting Americans, and recruiting them, are much worse net, than simply killing a few Americans.
(it is no secret why American born Muslims are rising to top leadership positions in international Islamist groups.
fighting Islamists is bad enough, without them using American ingenuity against us!)

if people don’t wake up soon, their descendants will be wearing burkhas.

We have all rich idiots (who despise Jesus Christ) running the world.

sadly true.
Jesus himself said that Satan has dominion here for now.
we are in “enemy territory”, and all Christians must unite against the religion of Satan (Islam).

(btw, i like your name. it’s 2 of my favorite 3. the other being Deborah.)
